"Xiao Mo, does that mean you don't have to go to the schoolhouse today?"
Early the next morning, Xiao Mo was having breakfast with Bai Ruxue in the courtyard. Bai Ruxue blinked as she watched him.
After Xiao Mo returned yesterday, he had told Bai Ruxue what had happened at the schoolhouse.
Bai Ruxue didn't care at all about Xiao Mo's argument with that old teacher.
'If it really comes to it, I'll just take Xiao Mo and we'll switch to another academy.'
'If that doesn't work, I'll go to the Confucian Academy, kidnap a few Sacrificial Officers, and have them teach Xiao Mo privately.'
"I probably can't go," Xiao Mo said, shaking his head with a smile. "But it's no big deal. I'll go find Mr. Qi in a bit and ask him about it."
"No need to ask."
Just as the words left Xiao Mo's mouth, a light, pleasant female voice came from outside the courtyard.
Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue turned to look and saw Shang Jiuli already standing at the gate.
